martin savidge live in san frrd, florida. how are officials moving forward in we heard some warnings about protests getting too rowdy from the sanford police department. what are they doing now. >> i think warnings put out by the sanford pd. the warning was demonstrations around the courthouse, there was a fear, a concern that the noise level would be heard by jurors while deliberating and somehow that could affect deliberation. there were warnings around the courthouse, no large hailers. can you speak, loudly but no amplification for that reason. i think the city is well aware there are a lot of people with strong emotions. these emotions will take time to play out. i spoke with the mayor. he said the demonstration areas they have had throughout this trial will remain open. the parks are open if they wished to peacefully express their feelings or gather in some way. the neighborhood will not close their doors and say we're not open. they realize it takes time to work through. they felt it was improperly blamed, they didn't d

cnn's martin savidge sat down with defense attorney mark o'mara for a one-on-one interview. he says this case has been highly political in his view. >> how much of this was politics? >> it's guesswork on my behalf. but if i enter into this formula, an element or ingredient of politics, a lot more makes sense, a lot more about the way the case was handled early on, the way it was turned into a racial event when seemingly and now positively it wasn't, when a special prosecutor is brought in when there doesn't seem to be any reason why norm wolf finginger had perfect opportunity to sit on this case. i deposed three assistants who were busting their butts on this case. when a special prosecutor comes in and waves the grand jury and then files charges that most good legal analystion including alan dershowitz say that's an abomination. you have to wonder if there's not some outside influencing, pressuring decisions. >> it's an incredible indictment of the state of florida to say that justice became secondary to what may have been politics. >> justice is going to come with the acqu

i want to play more of martin savidge's interview with you with mark owe mare rar. o'mara. >> let's talk about the makeup of the jury. six women. one person of color and five who are mothers, correct? >> yes. interesting because the jury selection process is very intriguing to me. i enjoy the process. >> that the jury you wanted? >> yes. in this way. when we were going through it, i was surprised that the state struck the first black male that she vuk. they struck. i was surprised by that. they seemed to be moving down the path to get a bunch of white women. and i think that's inappropriate. i challenged them on that. the judge said they were removing white women because they were white women. we went to four and then further down the list. so in my perfect jury, i would like more of a demographic switch. maybe more males. but i'm very okay with the six people that we have now, for reasons that we talked about. i think they're very attentive and listening. >> do you think that maybe a man might take the self-defense, hear that differently than five women or six wome
